That's really in there! There are lawyers with a sense of humor?

Not just lawyers. Someone in charge must have authorized that. Which is, frankly speaking, amazing! Too many companies are too serious for their own good, it's a refreshing change.

  Occam's razor makes me think it was slipped in by some web developer.

    Just curious - why am I suddenly seeing so many people referencing occam's razor? It is happening way too frequently to be a coincidence. Was the idea featured someplace recently? It seems like just about every tech-ish thread on reddit and HN has one "Occam's Razor" dude for the last couple weeks.

      I wouldn't be so sure it's not a coincidence. http://www.psmag.com/books-and-culture/theres-a-name-for-that-the-baader-meinhof-phenomenon-59670 http://www.psmag.com/books-and-culture/theres-a-name-for-tha...

        Yeah, that would be true if I hadn't already heard of it I guess. I've also seen a lot of people talking about baader-meinhof, so I suspect it might just be that pop psychology is the tech bro humblebrag du joir this week.

        It can still be the case despite knowing it. Simply being aware of the existence of a bias isn't enough to counter it in a lot of cases.

      Could just be Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon/frequency illusion.

    I really doubt that. Changing a legal contract is not something you do without approval. That sounds like a quick way to end up unemployed.
